Vanilla Ice and his ex-girlfriend Kirra have dropped their court war over custody and support for their daughter. According to court documents obtained by RadarOnline.com, the exes informed a Palm Beach County judge they were dismissing their dueling lawsuits.
Kirra had asked the court to establish Vanilla Ice (real name: Robert Van Winkle) as the father of their daughter, Priscilla, born in June 2018. She also requested that a custody schedule and child support order be entered by the court.
Vanilla Ice filed a countersuit against Kirra, but now the two have decided to call off the case and handle things privately. Vanilla and Kirra have kept their relationship extremely private since they started dating.
In 2019, Vanilla Ice and his ex-wife Laura settled their bitter divorce. The two were together for nearly 20 years before the split. Laura filed for divorce in October 2016 but claimed they had been separated for years. The two share two adult children.
In 2008, Vanilla Ice was taken into custody after an altercation with Laura. He was arrested for domestic violence but charges were eventually dropped after she recanted a previous statement.
It’s unclear why Vanilla Ice and Kirra decided to drop their court case, but it’s possible that they were able to reach an agreement privately. Whatever the reason, it’s good to hear that they’re putting the needs of their daughter first.
